Digimon Adventure 02 Kids Are All Grown-Up, So Here's Their Official Liquor

posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
For nostalgic times, make it Digimon time

The children from Digimon Adventure 02 are all grown up in the new Digimon movie. And with grown-up characters come some grown-up drinks.





Way back in 2000, Digimon Adventure 02 debuted as the follow-up to the popular anime series Digimon Adventure. It was a new spin on the Digimon franchise, and the last episode of the series treated fans to the main characters all grown up. Now, Toei Animation is releasing a sequel movie to the TV series, following the same characters as adults. To celebrate this, Toei Animation has teamed up with Kurand craft drinks to release a Digimon Adventure 02 themed sake.

According to the Kurand website, the bottle will feature the grown-up characters on the label, with their respective partner Digimon on the label's reverse side (as blurredly seen through the glass). The bottle will also come with an acrylic masu cup — a cup traditionally used to measure rice but currently used more for drinking sake. The company describes sake as having a taste that “will remind us as adults of those nostalgic times.” This is due to the light and sweet flavor brought out through the saijō jikomi brewing process; in which new batches of sake are brewed using previously created sake in place of water.





The Digimon Adventure 02 The Beginning homepage lists each bottle at 720ml (about 24 ounces) with 16% alcohol by volume. Each bottle is 6,600 yen (about US$44), and orders have begun on October 27 and will continue until sold out. The expected delivery date is mid-December. There is no mention on the movie's website or Kurand's website if orders can be place outside of Japan. However, if they can be, this bottle of sake will make a nice Christmas gift for the adult Digimon fans in your family.
